Nightly drama in Zagreb's swimming pools: We're closing everything, because of a malfunction, our engine room flooded

Jutarnji listIndependentCenter4 hr. ago

In Zagreb, many public swimming pools have been closed due to various reasons, leaving residents with limited options for cooling off during the hot summer. Of the six public pool complexes, three are currently closed—BK Mladost is shut down until late August for hosting a youth water polo championship, while BK Svetica remains closed indefinitely after technical issues caused flooding in its machinery room. Additionally, three other pools are undergoing maintenance and will soon be unavailable. The only fully operational pool available throughout the summer is Šalata, which reopened after water quality concerns were resolved.

The article reports on an incident at the Svetice swimming complex in Zagreb where flooding caused by a technical failure led to the temporary closure of three swimming systems. The issue arose overnight between Monday and Tuesday due to a malfunction in the pool equipment, resulting in the basement areas being flooded. Staff manually pumped out the water but discovered that part of the pumping system was not functioning automatically. Due to significant damage to operational equipment, emergency interventions are now required to restore functionality. As a result, the pools are temporarily closed until repairs are completed. While the Svetice complex is closed, other swimming facilities in Zagreb remain open, including the Sports Park Mladost, the Utrina pool (until August 15th), and the Šalati SRC. A new pool in Španskom is expected to open soon.
